Ancient Persia
In the opulent courts of Sassanid Persia, the young prince Khosrow stumbles upon a mesmerizing portrait. It’s Shirin, an Armenian princess known for her radiant beauty and gentle spirit. Struck with a desire to find her, Khosrow sets off on a journey that artfully weaves through moonlit gardens and tumultuous cities, his heart beating to the ancient rhythms of love and longing.
Meanwhile, Shirin wanders through her vibrant Armenian kingdom, a realm rich with stories and secrets. Yet, her heart is restless, drawn to whispers of the Persian prince who seeks her. Underneath a silver moon and amidst fragrant blossoms, their paths entwine, igniting a bond that transcends kingdoms and conventions.
However, treacherous schemes and envious courtiers soon conspire to sever them. Through painstaking trials and the ethereal dance of fate, Khosrow remains steadfast, while Shirin’s spirit battles duty and love.
Their tale culminates in the tragic echoes of loss – Khosrow felled by betrayal, and Shirin, her heart heavy, choosing eternal unity in death over solace in life. Persian melodies and poetic verse capture their undying love, creating a poignant ode to devotion and destiny.
